Cleanup Status
Note: The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) is the lead agency for managing cleanups at this facility.
In May 1994, ITT NV entered into a consent order with EPA to continue investigation and remediation activities under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Corrective Action Program. The Final Administrative Order on Consent (U.S. EPA Docket Number RCRA-III-071 CA) (herein referred to as the Consent Order) had an effective date of May 25, 1994.
On July 10, 2009, EPA issued the Final decision and Response to Comments for the ITT Night Vision Facility. The remedy selected, included soil vapor extraction with institutional controls for soils. For groundwater, the remedy included a combination of in situ enhanced cometabolic bioremediation, institutional controls, and monitored natural attenuation (MNA). Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the primary contaminants of concern. Those found include: acetone, isopropanol, trichloroethylene (TCE) and its breakdown products, and 1, 1, 1 trichloroethane (TCA), and its breakdown products.
On June 10, 2015, the EPA conducted a Long Term Stewardship assessment to assess whether the remedy was implemented and protective of human health and the environment. EPA determined that the remedy institutional and engineering controls have been fully implemented and no control deficiencies were identified.
Cleanup Actions or environmental indicators characterizing the entire facility are shown below. It is not intended as an extensive list of milestones/activities. This listing, and all the data on this page, come from EPA’s RCRAInfo and are refreshed nightly to this page. For this table and the Cleanup Activities Pertaining to a Portion of the Facility table that follows, a blank in the Status column could mean the action either has not occurred or has not been reported in RCRAInfo.

Facility Description
Link to a larger, interactive view of the map.
ITT Night Vision, a division of ITT Industries Inc., is an active manufacturing complex. Operations have been ongoing since 1958. Currently ITT Night Vision employs approximately 1400 employees. The facility consists of three major buildings and associated infrastructure located on two parcels of land in Roanoke, Virginia. EPA issued the facility two EPA identification numbers because the parcels are not contiguous. This parcel of the facility covers about 17 acres, and contains ITT Building Number One and Number Two.
Contaminants at this Facility
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the primary contaminants of concern. Those found include: acetone, isopropanol, trichloroethylene (TCE) and its breakdown products, and 1, 1, 1 trichloroethane (TCA), and its breakdown products.
Institutional and Engineering Controls at this Facility
Institutional Controls curtail use of groundwater as drinking water ,a deed notice on groundwater restrictions, limitation of landuse to non-residential until cleanup efforts completed, and biennial reports on cleanup progress and review of landuse and groundwater controls.
Institutional and Engineering Controls help ensure human exposure and groundwater migration are under control at a cleanup facility. Where control types have been reported by states and EPA in EPA’s RCRAInfo, they are shown below. Not all control types are needed at all facilities, and some facilities do not require any controls. Where there are blanks, the control types may not be needed, may not be in place, or may not be reported in RCRAInfo.
